          He says and does whatever he wants with the executive branch, which has been terrible, but kicking a state out of the union is definitely outside of his control

            You’re only almost certainly correct.

            The thing about laws is that they work until they don’t.

            It is conceivable that one or more states might want to leave the union and that Trump supported their withdrawal, and somehow that led to people just not enforcing laws and effectively letting them go.

            If you think back to the dissolution of the USSR, that’s kinda what happened there, albeit completely differently. It just… sorta happened, because conditions were ripe for it.

            I’m not predicting that here in the slightest, just saying that things Can Never Change… until the sometimes suddenly do.

            So you are… only almost certainly correct.
